In the video, we can see a series of images from the different Chilean landscapes; from the Atacama desert in northern Chile to Patagonia in the far south. The background theme is Charagua, a song composed by Víctor Jara in 1970 and performed by Inti-Illimani.
For those of you who haven’t met me yet, I’m Pablo and I’m from Chile. I graduated from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso with majors in History and Education and minors in Geography and Social Sciences. This year I will be one of the language assistant at WU.
When you ask someone about Chile, probably the first thing that comes to mind is the poetry of Pablo Neruda, the novels of Isabel Allende, or the Moais in Easter Island. Nevertheless, Chile is much more, and that’s why I’m going to give you a few names to look for.
Literature: José Miguel Varas, José Donoso, Armando Uribe, Pablo de Rohka, Vicente Huidobro, Diamela Eltit, Nicanor Parra, Gonzalo Rojas, Enrique Lihn, Óscar Hahn, Roberto Bolaño and Floridor Pérez.
Visual Artists: Guillermo Nuñez, Nemesio Antúnez, Roberto Matta, Gracia Barrios and Camilo Mori.
Music: Víctor Jara, Violeta Parra, Inti-Illimani, Quilapayún, Congreso, Los Jaivas, Illapu, Los Tres, Ángel Parra, Quelantaro and Mauricio Redolés
I invite you to do some research and see that Chile is much more than you can imagine.
